An Amazing, Fun-filled Frozen Fever Party – Easy & Inexpensive Ideas

Okay, so Frozen Fever was just a short film… BUT for our Frozen-crazy kiddos, that was enough for them to want a Frozen Fever themed-birthday. Since it was Elsa’s birthday, it naturally lead to some easy party planning 🙂 Check out our games & other party ideas below. Thanks Anna! 😛

Try out a few of the suggestions below and let us know what you think! We created some printables to go along with this party. Feel free to use them for yours as well: Frozen Fever Printable Images & Sunflower Printable Letters.

INVITATIONS

For parties, get your guests in the mood with Frozen Fever themed invites. There are quite a few templates online but we opted for taking the Frozen Fever Banner and modifying it to say our daughter’s name instead of Anna’s. Then we added the party details below.

DECOR

Sunflowers! Sunflowers! Sunflowers!

Sunflowers and light blues appear everywhere in the Frozen Fever short film. Decorate your tables with light blue tablecloths (Honestly, if you’ve got more than a few tables, a roll might be the better way to go). Scatter sunflower confetti around the tables and add some real sunflowers in kid-friendly vases OR add some sunflowers (real or fake) to some clear bowls (Artificial Sunflower Heads)

If you’ve got the budget, you can also find some Artificial Sunflower Garland and other decorative pieces that would add some festiveness to the party.

If you’re brave, you can try creating some giant sunflowers – I followed the tutorial from JenniferMaker – Giant Paper Sunflower Mine didn’t turn out as pretty as this one, but there were visibly sunflowers, so – big win!!

ARRIVAL

Most guests will trickle in a few minutes before or after the actual start time of the party. To keep everyone in theme, have a few activities in an area of the party.

We had some sunflower bracelets and necklace making supplies out for the kids to make (Vintage Sunflower Beads 50pc). We had regular pony beads – yellows, oranges, light pinks, light blues, and greens. We had string for the older kids but pipe cleaners for the younger ones.

We also had an origami sunflower craft which was easy enough that we didn’t have to man this station. We used this tutorial: OrigamiWay – Easy Origami Sunflower

FOOD & DRINKS

We set up our table based on both the original movie and the short film with Frozen Fever Figurines scattered around (these were actually used in a game later on in the party).

Appetizers:

Birthday Bugles – In this short film, the birthday girls is supposed to blow a birthday bugle. Have a few bugle corn chips in a bowl and label them “Birthday Bugles”
Sunflower Seeds – sunflowers appear all over during this film, so add any sunflower recipes to your table. We opted for the quick & easy sunflower seeds 🙂
Sunflower Cheese Platter – Arrange a small circle of dark grapes or black olives. Then arrange some yellow or orange cheese triangles around it to look like a sunflower.

Main Course:

Sandwiches – Anna’s favorite

Dessert:

Chocolate Fondue. Also Anna’s favorite (but Elsa’s too!). If you have one, set out your Fondue Fountain and some fruit. Otherwise, just lay some chocolate out on your dessert table.
Who can resist a cupcake? Stick with yellow frosting to match the color scheme.

Drinks:

Water Bottles – If you’ve got the time, replace regular water bottle labels with one that’s more frozen-fever themed.

CRAFTS

For our adult-supervised craft area, we were trying to have a small terra cotta flower pot for each child. Our goal was to use two stamp pads: a red one and a yellow one and let the kids make a red thumbprint and then decorate it with dots and two antennas – for a ladybug. They’d also make thumbprint sunflowers by drawing a small circle with the black marker and surrounding it with yellow thumbprints. Instead, we didn’t have as many terra cotta pots for each kid, so we let them decorate some small decomposable ones with some self-adhesive decorations: lady bugs, bees, and mushrooms.

We did still add sunflower seed packets to the goodie bags, but you can plant them with the group if you’d rather go that route.

We also had a snowgie making craft – small white pompoms, cotton balls, very small black pom poms. It may be difficult to glue but the kids had fun.

GAMES

For our games, we used snowgies or items from the short film:

Birthday Banner Letter Hunt. In the film, Olaf can’t spell and messes up the placement of letters on “Happy Birthday Anna”. Hide copies of the letters from your banner around the party area. Have guests search for them and try to make a phrase. See how many can see it’s actually the birthday banner 🙂 Note: All you really need for this activity is some paper and a marker or two to draw out a birthday banner, but we’ve also uploaded the ones we created for the party. Feel free to use them for yours as well: Frozen Fever Printable Images & Sunflower Printable Letters 🙂
Birthday Banner Word Hunt. Now that the banner has been unscrambled, give each guest a pen/pencil and a paper. Have them see how many words they can make out of the letters in your birthday banner.
Snowgies Catch. In the film, Kristoff tries to catch all the snowgies before they cause havoc on the party area. If you’ve got a stuffed snowgie lying around, you can use that or just let guests use their imagination with larger white pom poms (or styrofoam balls). Hold out a large bowl and have guests try to toss the “Snowgies” into it. For older kids, you can move the bowl around or add in some “punch” (red tissue or red pom poms) and tell them they can’t spill it when they toss their snowgie in.
Blow a bugle. In the film, there’s a large bugle that Elsa needs to blow into. For this game, roll up a large posterboard in roughly a bugle shape and place a “snowgie” (pom poms or loosely balled up tissue paper work a little better because they’re light but in truth it was quite hard for the kiddos to blow the “snowgies”. We ended up letting them push them through instead 😉 ). Have the guest blow into the bugle and see how far they can get their snowgie to go.
Trivia Hunt. If you’ve got small figurines of the characters, you can do a mini trivia/treasure hunt. Otherwise, printing out pictures would also work. Give guests clues like “What is Anna’s favorite dessert”? Next to a plate of chocolate, hide the Anna figurine.
For our pull string piñata, we dressed it up as a giant sunflower with green string for the kids to pull.

GOODIE BAGS

If you want to keep in theme when you’re guests leave, sprinkle in some Frozen Fever items for their goodie bag along with any of the regular candy or hand outs you want to give out.

In addition to the standard candy quantities :D, we added these items into light blue kraft bag:

We didn’t think we’d get to this food craft, so we set up some baggies with Do you want to build a snowman cards – marshmallow, pretzel, & raisin bag.
Watercolor paint set or pencils & pad (to create a happy birthday banner like Kristoff’s)
Flower pot with packet of sunflower seeds
Frozen stickers
Bubbles with frozen fever label
